mental case land

By dismal silence

schitzophrenic conversations
bipolar/manic/depressive
anxiety
insanity
trapped in my head
mine life is mine
to live free
but i cant be free
when im never just me
mine lips are sown
so i can speak no more
but the voices are eating through my core
cut me open
stich me shut
i make no sence
so rip out my gut
bang my head
against the wall
maybe one of them in there
will shatter an fall
i try to talk
no one understands
i scream it out
but they stand confused
im trapped in this mental case land
i fight so hard
not to give in
this is my sanctuary
that i find peace in
slice away the anger
slice away the pain
slice away the temptation
to ever slice again
carve lines into my head
reaching through my brain
maybe it will make me better
maybe it will make me sane
but for now
i walk this road
with just the voices in my head
dancing in the raining rainbows and rage
sleeping in this mental case land
